Review
Brandy L. River’s mind continues to amaze me. Every time I think I have a grasp on the complex world she has developed she introduces me to some new aspect and I am back at the beginning falling in love with a new breed of characters. Shadows Fall is a prequel novella to Shadows Of The Past and in it we get some insight into the life of Amethyst Lakes.
Amethyst is a nymph and while she has power over men when having sex with them she refuses to use this to her advantage and in doing this she has taken the hard road out of a difficult situation which in the end has landed her unsure of what the future will hold. Scored and hurt Amethyst, along with her childhood crush Preston work hard to clear her name but as always not everything is as easy as they wish is could be.
While this prequel is a fast and short read it is packed full of story and characters. Often in novellas I am left feeling like I am missing out on something, if they spent time to forge a good connection between the characters than the plot is not as developed and vice-verse, but with Brandy’s works everything I read by her whether it be a full length story, novella or novellette it is all done with a careful eye to ensure the reader will not feel like they missed out on anything.
A fabulous set up for the next book in the series I promise you won’t want to miss this one!
